Summary: Fanart of Beelzebub and Sacrosanct from Kai Lysander's comic Golden Hour sharing a close embrace and a shade of lipstick. Details: Sacrosanct, a jester-sable-creature out of costume, dips Beelzebub as the demon holds on with all six arms and covers the sable's enamored face in lipstick stains. The iridescent green of his shirt is reminiscent of a beetle or butterfly. Save for his face, Sacrosanct is coated in fine black hair. His ears are those of a sable, his hands and feet clawed. He also has a long tail - sleek, and fluffy at the end. Beelzebub, meanwhile, has six arms, fuzzy legs, antennae and carapace-like shielding over his face, and his iridescent green shirt brings to mind a beetle or butterfly. His arms are also fuzzy. Sacrosanct's tail loops about the pair, forming a heart, wrapping around Beelzebub's thigh and cheerfully sweeping the air behind him. Beelzebub's antennae hang languidly downward, relaxed by the embrace. They, too, seem to form halves of a heart, albeit a little ways apart. Translation: Venuksen varjosta valettu = "molded from the shadow of Venus".

Summary: An illustration of Nobledeer and Sacrosanct the Sable for the crossover fanfiction Silkkipaperisielu, set in the world of Kai Lysander's comic Golden Hour. Details: Drawn from behind, the two hold hands while walking in a seemingly slow fashion. Sacrosanct is a lanky jester-sable-creature with long limbs and a colorful costume. His tail loops to form a heart shape as he looks to the much shorter Nobledeer by his side. The ruffle around his neck is dark on one side, as if bloodied. Nobledeer is fully turned away, their body language detached from both the sable and the viewer. Their long gold-brown hair clings wetly to the back of their red suit. There's a faint glow around their head and shoulders. The characters are standing on a fuzzy black surface. The top half of the background is a blend of red and blue colorpencil, with red more dominant around the figure of Nobledeer. These two fully coloured areas are separared by a section of scribbles on otherwise blank paper. The scribbles appear incoherent at a glance, but some heart shapes can be made out. Translator's notes: Nukkekotia kohti = "towards the dollhouse (lit. dollhome)"

Summary: Handdrawn artwork of Cyberpunk Red character Nobledeer and the demon Beelzebub from Kai Lysander's comic Golden Hour. Details: Sitting on a stone slab, Nobledeer stares forward in a fearful daze. Their mouth is open, showing pointed teeth. Beelzebub looms over them with a toothy grin. Eyes aglow, he inspects their signature red tie with two hands. His antennae are closed around their head like the jaws of a beetle, one caressing their hair while another tips up their chin. Drawn like a vibrant cloak, his wings envelop the scene. Translator's note: kärpäsenleikki = fly's play. This is a play on kärpäsenloukku, flytrap.

Summary: Fanart of Vasariah and Charlie from Kai Lysander's Golden Hour, sharing a tender moment at the end of their work trip. Details: Vasariah and Charlie sit side by side at a square dining table, on which two cups of coffee are getting cold. Their foreheads are pressed together, and Vasariah's arm is wrapped around Charlie's shoulder. Vasariah's eyes are closed as he basks in Charlie's smile. The pair is dressed in different degrees of formal attire. Charlie wears a full suit, but Vasariah only has a dress shirt and slacks to go with his tie. Translator's note: hellyydenkipeä (adj.) = one who is aching for affection

Summary: Side view of three figures in a braid train: Nobledeer, Agnus, and Sacrosanct the Sable. Details: Moths and butterflies crowd around Nobledeer. They are on their knees, their palms are pressed together as if in prayer. Though formally dressed, they are missing their suit jacket. Nobledeer's gaze is turned toward a conversation behind their back, but their uncertain expression suggests they cannot quite make it out. Unlike the others, they are all colourpencil. The last car in the train, Sacrosanct is a jester-sable-creature, his sleek humanoid limbs and tail coated in fine black fur. His ears peek out cheerily from underneath his jester hat. His colourful costume features a big ruffled collar and numerous golden bells. Though masked by gloves, his hands are claw-like. He is hunched over them as he works on Agnus' braid. Sacrosanct's white mask of a face is framed by loose black curls. It features a sharp, open-mouthed smile, as well as what look like painted hearts on his cheeks - a second set of eyes, in truth. The first set exchanges knowing glances with Agnus; along with his open mouth and his leaning toward her, he seems to be telling her something. Head bowed, back straight, lip curled upward, Agnus is the quiet centerpiece of the image. She holds Nobledeer's braid in her gloved hands, and Sacrosanct's tail is secured around the crook of her arm. The high collar of her blouse is adorned with little bells that match the buttons on the front of it. A moth rests as a crown atop her head. Translator's notes: autuuden kaitsijat = minders of eternal bliss dale el veneno, mi cordero = give them the poison, my lamb Autuus is a biblical term, meaning a state of salvation or otherworldly contentment. However, it is most often encountered in an Finnish equivalent of "ignorance is bliss", autuaita ovat tietämättömät, which roughly means "blessed are the unaware". Kaitsija derives from the verb kaitsea = to mind children or animals, especially sheep.

Summary: A hand-drawn portrait of Father Lorne Ferré, the protagonist of Kai Lysander's comic Golden Hour. Details: Lorne wears a cassock with a white collar. Their eyes are somber, downcast. Behind him shines a multicoloured, pupil-like halo. Translator's note: hyvin säilynyt, epätoivolla seppelöity = well preserved, crowned with a wreath of despair

Summary: An illustration of Sacrosanct the Sable and Nobledeer for the crossover fanfiction Silkkipaperisielu, set in the world of Kai Lysander's comic Golden Hour. Details: Nobledeer is a young person in button boots, a rust red suit and a bloodstained shirt. Their long hair is open and hangs listlessly around their face. Sacrosanct is a jester-sable-creature with long, sleek limbs and a tail. His elaborate costume features ruffles, bright colours and many, many little bells. Sacrosanct sits cross-legged with Nobledeer on his lap. His arm around their waist holds them close while another covers their mouth. He is nuzzling the top of their head with a smile. Nobledeer seems overwhelmed, their eyes blank and their posture unsteady. Their skin is alarmingly pale with a bluish tint. They tightly grip the arm laid across their lap; whether this is to push it away or to steady themself is left unclear. Their other arm reaches away from Sacrosanct while his tail draws a playful loop around it. Translator's note: Leijonanväsyttäjä means one who tires out lion(s). It is a play on leijonankesyttäjä, lion tamer.

Summary: Fanart of the angel Vasariah from Kai Lysander's comic Golden Hour. Vasariah is dressed in winterwear and stares straight at the viewer. A forested hillscape stretches out into the horizon behind him. Details: Vasariah stands on the frost-covered top of the hill Pyhävaara, haloed by a yellow wool hat. His birdlike eyes are emphasized. Something like a smile plays on his lips, and his red hair curls around his face like the caress of flames on a branch. The view behind the angel features numerous hills and some frozen lakes. The furthest hills are faint and bluish, obscured by fog and blending with the clear October sky. Translator's notes: Pyhävaaran laki = the top of Pyhävaara l'uccello del paradiso a caccia = the bird of paradise on the hunt The Finnish geological term vaara refers to a hill that is 50 meters tall or higher and forested all the way to the top. Pyhävaara, located in the municipality of Kuusamo in Northeastern Finland, is one of a multitude of vaaras found in the area. Its name roughly means Sacred-hill. However, the words laki (top of a hill or mountain) and vaara both have other, equally established meanings: law and danger, respectively. Damning adherence to grammar, "Pyhävaaran laki" can thus be read as "the law of sacred danger" in the context of this piece.

Summary: Fanart of Satan and Beelzebub from Kai Lysander's comic Golden Hour. They are wrestling. Details: The characters are humanoid with some animalistic features. Beelzebub resembles a moth with his fuzzy legs and antennae. Satan has goatlike legs and ears, and most of their body is covered in dark fur. Venus shines on their shoulders. Satan has pinned Beelzebub to the ground and glares down at him with utter disdain. Beelzebub stares right back, teeth bared in a forceful grin, right hand gripping one of Satan's head-wings. The overwhelmed look on his face could be read as fear, but his relaxed antennae point to other emotions. Translator's note: Paholainen tuholainen, tahdon tahdon sua = Devil pest, I want want you

Summary: Fanart of Satan from Kai Lysander's Golden Hour, dressed like Mettaton EX from the game Undertale. He sings close to the mic and plays an electric guitar. Venus shines on her shoulders. Details: The heart symbol on Satan's waist has a crack. Her face is in profile, with two of four eyes visible. His earth-red gaze is aimed at the viewer. Translator's notes: Langeta silmäisi valo, Kointähti = "Cast down the light of your eyes, Morningstar". Silmäisi valo, lit. light of your eyes, is an expression equivalent to "your beloved". The archaic conjugation silmäisi for "your eyes" is at home in poetry, song and scripture; the modern formal spelling would be silmiesi. Kointähti is an old Finnish name for Venus. Literally Kointähti is "star of koi". Possible translations for it in this context are "star of the East", "star of dawnbreak", and the better-known "Morningstar". Simultaneously it is possible to read Kointähti as "the star of the moth", since moth in Finnish is also spelled koi.

Summary: Fanart of the demon Beelzebub as depicted in Kai Lysander's Golden Hour. He reaches towards the viewer with a sinister smile. Details: Beelzebub is humanoid with prominent moth-like features: antennae, wings with eye spots, and thick fur covering the entirety of his legs and the back of his six arms. His upper body is clad in armor reminiscent of a carapace. His eyes are yellow with narrow pupils. Beelzebub's posture imitates a welcome. He bows slightly, hand over his heart(s?), while two more hands beckon, inviting us closer. At the same time, he oozes violent intent. Of the remaining three hands, one holds a scalpel, another a human heart of unknown origin. The last one, drawn closer in perspective, reaches for the viewer- not to invite, but to seize. In additon, three hands out of the six have blood on them. Translator's notes: "Antenoran lepattava sydän" = the fluttering heart of Antenora In Dante's Inferno, Antenora refers to a part of hell reserved for traitors to their country; in Golden Hour, it is Beelzebub's domain.

Summary: Fanart of Father Lorne Ferré and his husband, the demon Buer, from Kai Lysander's comic Golden Hour. The pair is depicted dancing waltz. Details: Buer leads, effortlessly supporting Lorne's weight as he dips him back, looking lovingly down at him. Lorne's expression is one of quiet unease. He looks not at his husband, but at his own right hand, which is held tight in Buer's claws. Translator's notes: "sielua syleilevä kadotus" = the soul-embracing perdition "el último vals" = the final waltz

Fanart of Sacrosanct the Sable and the demon Beelzebub from the comic Golden Hour by Kai Lysander. The two are depicted in a scene of courtly love. Sacrosanct kneels before his lord, clasping one of his hands, as Beelzebub graciously caresses his chin. Translator's note: "hovinarri ja aamunkoi" means "court jester and the break of dawn," but you could also translate "aamunkoi" as "morningsmoth".
